Why aren’t people moving away from Github? There’s Codeberg, Gitlab, and radicle. What’s holding them back?

    Even projects on other repo systems have shut down. Too many AI submissions for them. LLMs are integrated so deeply into certain IDEs that some developers I’ve seen literally did not know they were using them (no, they couldn’t tell me why they thought writing a prompt in the IDE wasn’t hitting an LLM).

    It’s a systemic issue that GitHub exacerbates but it’s by no means limited to it.

      I can see people not realizing the LLM autocomplete was an LLM. But not the prompting.

      And even then, that’s some fancy ass autocomplete if it’s not LLM powered…
